Anyone celebrating Independence Day is supporting the use of violence to achieve political goals and should be banned under the ToS.
But we celebrate Green Mario all the time?
Yes we are all banned on this blessed day
Give us this day our daily ban
And lead us not into civility
But deliver us to good trouble
Yeah but alien lives don’t matter and welcome to urf
And on July 4th, don’t forget that All Countries Matter.
Only as long as they identify as the nation assigned at creation.
Exactly, the 13 colonies were assigned British at birth. This delusion went far enough already.
Does this mean they can’t play rugby?
All hail King Gorgeous George III on the Fourth!!!
George Raymond Wagner (March 24, 1915 – December 26, 1963) was an American professional wrestler known by his ring name Gorgeous George.—Wikipedia
He has my vote
The American Revolution was kinda funny ngl. It was basically just because like 30% (50% didnt care, 20% were loyalists) of the population didn’t feel like paying taxes to Britain. At all. They weren’t particularly high taxes either. And the only reason that they had to pay taxes was because of the 7 years war that George Washington helped start. Also, they wanted the right to smuggle untaxed French goods to the colonies. Also, they wanted to expand past the borders that were meant to give Native Americans and the French at least a little bit of a break (not much though). Y’all, ngl, the colonies were kinda a little bit in the wrong. For better and worse, we’ll never know what would’ve happened if the silly colonists hadn’t rebelled. Probably end up being a Canada or Australia clone. Definitely closer to Canada. Mexico would probably have a lot more land. Slavery would’ve ended about 30 years earlier (maybe). The French might’ve had a different-ish revolution. A bunch of countries would have different-ish constitutions. The land that the US takes up might have a less diverse group of white people. Idfk, I just took a history class in high school lol
I’m more inclined to believe that America would just become Europe 2 — without the revolutionary war it’s difficult to believe the Treaty of Paris would have been signed. I think the French, Spanish and British would have held onto their territories for much longer — likely going to war eventually.
Who knows?
I celebrate it because it’s 1 of only 6 holidays in the year our pathetic job gives us off for… I’ll tell you the stretch between NYD and Memorial day is brutal.
This isn’t a who’s job is shittier off but retail workers are like “y’all get 6 holidays off a year? That stretch between Christmas and Christmas is brutal.” We need bank holidays in this country.
I remember my mother and grandfather working Christmas regularly. I believe they got OT if they were scheduled on Christmas. That was their only compensation.
Fuck you. Randy Quaid is a hero!
The US is better of just joining the UK. At least there’s healthcare.
No. UK has the same problem. The US should join the EU.
Great for us, terrible for the EU. Do they REALLY need Super-Hungary with a veto?
